Long-expected, they're now here. From Bent Castle, another in their series.
I'm guessing that the courts and spots and Aces are all identical to the red-backed Pippoglyph deck, but Pippoglyph II adds two new colors for the backs ... green and brown.
The other big difference is that they're switching to USPCC, which means they're only doing a 56-card deck, not the usual BentCastle 60-card deck. (More about that below the fold.)

USPCC
Tuck is the usual split image of the back and a face. Which means that in the pictures below, you can at least get a partial view of the green back and the brown back (plus it says so right on the tuck) ... but I don't see where it talks about that in the text or the reward descriptions. But I think that's the whole point. Anyway, if you want 'em both ...
$20 for two decks, $8 to ship international.
But the biggest deal is the switch from their current 60-card supplier to USPCC 56 cards. Here's what that means: "It will be a 56 card deck [...] The four extra cards are Jokers, updated from the original Pippoglyph deck, and two entirely new cards: a Black Knight and a Dragon. By including the four suited jokers, we are accommodating our following who have incorporated our customary X cards into games and magic. We regret that USPCC will not print a 60 card deck."
Another interesting thing about this KS is that the pledge levels trade extensively on their current stock of decks.
$35 for 2 of the new decks, plus any two of their other decks (Extraordinary Voyages, Living Dead, or Pegleg Pete's). $12 for international on that gang of four.
$65 for the full monty ... 2 each of all four BentCastle pairs: Pippoglyph II, Extraordinary Voyages, Living Dead, and Pegleg Pete's. (My bad, they call that the Full House, not the Full Monty :-). $18 extra for international.
I'll confess, I love their work. I'm a fan.
